Notes
and Quotes:
The team played inconsistently through
the first two rounds of pool play,
losing in straight sets to Rose City
Black who we have beaten twice
previously, and Webfoot Gold who we have
also previously beaten. However, when
the time came to play PVC Blue for the
first time this season, the team stepped
it up winning the first game 25-22, and
fought hard in the second losing 21-25,
and then losing the third as well to
place 4th in pool play.
We
carried over the momentum from the PVC
match into the afternoon crossover match
and put away South Coast handedly.
However, that momentum dissipated a bit
prior to the seeding match against Rose
City Black which we lost.
At
the end of the day we determined that we
played just well enough to stay in the
Gold Division for the Regional
Tournament later this month but that we
are committed to improving throughout
the remainder of the season.

Notes
and Quotes:
The 16's Black team had an excellent
weekend in Phoenix, despite the rainy
weather, and the really long days! The
team put in a tremendous effort all
weekend and proceeded to step up their
level of play to a new degree. The team
posted a 6-2 record and finished tied
for third overall in the tournament.
Saturday's play was relatively
uneventful and went pretty much as
planned.
Sunday
was another story however, starting with
a bad situation during the first match
of the day which we had the bad luck of
officiating. Fans and parents of the
Fusion 15's team from Highplains, Texas
were out of control when their team was
losing and proceeded to take out their
frustration on those that were
officiating. Needless to say, the team
needed no other motivation when it came
to their opportunity to play them later
that afternoon, and handed them their
second loss of the tournament.
As
the tournament progressed, the team
continued to get more efficient with
their ball handling, and finished the
tournament with 163 perfect passes and a
2.14 cumulative passing percentage led
by Kim Carter with a 2.24 for the
weekend. Additionally, the team
collectively played outstanding defense
throughout the tournament, resulting in
66 digs led by Dani Nelson with 16 on
the weekend.
For
the weekend, notable performances were
recorded by Shyanna Davis with a 59%
assist percentage, and an 81% kill
percentage (way to dump the ball!!!!).
Kara VanZanten contributed 48 kills, and
Ashley Grayson provided another 38.
Great
team effort…. Nice job!
Have
a good week off… see you next
Wednesday at LCC at 6:30.

The 16's Black team stepped up their
play in the afternoon to obtain the
fifth seed in the Gold Division for the
April tournament. While the team was not
playing at their best, they gave their
opponents a challenge, taking each pool
play match to a third game. The team
stepped up their level of intensity in
the afternoon and beat Rose City to
maintain residence in the Gold division,
and proceeded to beat Webfoot in the one
game seeding round to take the 5th place
seed in the Gold Division for the April
Power League.

Notes
and Quotes:
It was a big weekend for the 16's Black
team as they posted a 7-2 record while
finishing 6th in the Power 16's
tournament out of the 40 teams entered.
After two rounds of pool play, the team
was undefeated. Teams were re-seeded,
and based on record and point
differentials, we were seeded 3rd
overall, earning us a bye in the first
round of the 12 team modified double
elimination power championship bracket.
A 7-2 record at the Yakima Jamboree is a
good effort, however, with a consistent
effort, we could have been in the
semi-finals and is always an emphasis
for us.
For
the weekend, notable performances were
recorded by Jonelle Davis with a 100%
serving percentage contributing to 34
points, and Kara VanZanten with an
excellent 2.46 passing percentage for
the weekend. Ashley Grayson commanded
the net with a season high 33 blocks on
the weekend, which just happened to be
exactly ˝ of all blocks for the
weekend.

Notes
and Quotes:
The Cowlitz 16's Black team learned the
necessity to play at a high level of
intensity regardless of the level of the
competition. The morning pool
competition was not very strong, and we
were able to use the time to work on
some things, which we were able to use
effectively in the afternoon matches.
The
team was able to elevate their level of
play throughout the day as the level of
competition increased and did a good job
of maintaining their focus and composure
when games got tight.
The
team was seeded 6th coming into this
tournament with 5 teams placing higher
than us at the Power League Qualifier
attending, including Webfoot Gold who is
currently seeded #1 in the Gold Division
of Power League. This tournament
provided us a great opportunity to see
the level of play we will be up against
during power league and identify some
areas for improvement.
Great
job this weekend!
